Your life should be a
PLUS not a MINUS. Living to add value not to take value away from people is the
real essence of living.
Every deep positive insight that
can add positive value to humanity comes from the spiritual faculty. The spiritual
faculty is the creative faculty. It is where all great inventions that have
added value to the world came from. The principle of extraordinary life is a
spiritual concept from the spiritual faculty revealing the type of life God the
father of the spirit world wants us to live by. Extraordinary life according to
the revelation of the spirit is living for others to live to the glory of God.
This is exactly the kind of live Jesus came to model for us. The original
essence of Jesus sojourn on earth is to teach us how to live. Jesus is a model
of extraordinary life. He sacrificed His life for posterity. Throughout His
short stay in life, He went about doing good, sharing love and kindness by
healing the sick, raising the dead and helping the downtrodden. He was not
meant to live on earth; He was an example of extraordinary living sent by God
to model the kind of life God expect from us. We are made to be the models of
Jesus’ character as His disciples. That means we should be discipled (trained)
to live like Him. That is the true essence of spiritual growth. This principle
of extraordinary life is the insight behind MISSIONART ORGANIZATION OF CHILD
EDUCATION AND TRAINING (MOCET). God has mandated us to sensitize people to live
extraordinary life. That is the life of contribution, solution and being a
blessing to our community and nations. The greatest commandment Jesus gave us
is to love God with all our heart and to love our neighbours just He loved us.
That means if you live only for your family and relatives, you are living an
ordinary life. When you help someone for what you want to gain in return, you
live an ordinary life. Extraordinary life is giving help to someone who is not
related to you by flesh, when that help is centered on supernatural love which is
to the glory of God. We are one by our spiritual birth. We are all from one
spiritual father but from different fleshly fathers. God is our spiritual
father that is why He wants us to love our neighbor for His sake. Jesus came to
unite us in one spiritual body. That is why the moment you become born again
you enter God spiritual family. Supernatural love is number one fruit of the
spirit.
Two types of love
The core of Jesus life and
message is love. Love can be categorized under two; the natural love and
supernatural love. Natural love is the love we have for our wife, children,
friends and relatives while supernatural love is the love we have for our neighbors
for the sake of God. Your neighbor is anyone that is close to you wherever you
are whether you have met the person before or not. That is to say that if you
reside in Lagos and you travel to Kano for business trip, right from the time
you move from your house to board the flight from the airport, anyone you come
across is your neighbor. Loving and caring and thinking of how you can be a
blessing to those in need in your own little way for God’s sake is supernatural
love. Jesus painted a picture of supernatural love with the parable of Good
Samaritan. The Good Samaritan took care of the wounded man he never knew. He
saw the need of that wounded man and volunteered to lend a helping hand for
God’s glory.
